AI couldn’t do this a year ago, it required computer hardware that was supercomputer levels of expensive to even create something like this. IMO development was actually held back by crypto and covid-19. Now AI is the #1 focus of the techbros and it isn’t going to slow down. This shit is going to put so many journalists, artists, and even programmers out of work. I don’t know how else to explain this, HUMANITY LITERALLY CREATED AI THIS YEAR. WE MADE FUCKING SKYNET!

You want to talk about technological progress, this shit mogs fusion, it mogs the vaccines, it mogs whatever dumb space colonization shit we did. We made fucking AI! I bet we will have sentient AI in our lifetime. And what are we going to do with this stuff? Porn, lots of porn. Deepfakes of celebrities and politicians sacrificing children to moloch, dead actors staring in new movies, a new album by Tupac, fake war footage, fake everything.

Have you ever heard about how a monkey can write Shakespeare given enough time? We have fucking done that, we pressed random buttons enough times that we ended up with something legible. Now we turn memes into real people.

We need a butlarian jihad or some shit.

    2 things , 1 if ai is everything you claim it is then there's no way it stops from poisoning its own training data because ai art will be all it can find. Without knowing why a thing was chosen, "hmmm this would be cool as an ai rendering" aka human sensibility to separate signal from noise, ai art just gets muddier and uglier for training off itself.

    Thing 2, say the monkey took a million tries to type Shakespeare, try number 999,999 would have also been gibberish. Whereas gpt 3 is better than got 1 etc. So it's less suddenly something that is upon us, more like we iterate up to it.

    Bonus thing 3, if you truly believe we created intelligence possibly sentience then it puts your calls for genocide in a different light

      on the other hand it is in actuallity no more sentient than a spoon so it wouldn't be murder to delete it anymore than it's murder to bend a spoon
